There’s a charm when it comes to women proving they can rock out alongside the best of the male-dominated worldwide rock and heavy metal scene. A decade or so ago, it was mainly the fact that women were starting to get the recognition they truly deserved.
But now, the game has changed, as the worldwide metal scene has acknowledged that the ladies are doing things heavier, more aggressive, and generally, JUST BETTER. Fans of the thrash metal subgenre took one listen and looked at NERVOSA and knew that the band was on its way to the distinguished league of legends in the game.
Filipino fans will witness their musical might as the band will be invading local shores to play the SKYDOME at SM North Edsa on April 16, 2025. Dubbed the 15 YEARS OF NERVOSA ASIA-PACIFIC TOUR IN MANILA, tickets will be released on January 25 through all SM Tickets outlets nationwide and will also be available online at smtickets.com.
Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil – the land of other excellent heavy metal exports like SEPULTURA and fellow femme-metallers CRYPTA – NERVOSA is continuing the fine tradition of creating and exporting excellent metal from their homeland to international stages. Founded in 2010 by guitarist Prika Amaral and former drummer Fernanda Terra, the group – now composed of Amaral, guitarist Helena Kotina, bassist Hel Pyre, and drummer Gabriela Abud – was signed in 2012 by the reputed Austrian metal label Napalm Records and released their landmark debut Victim of Yourself, which was an unrelenting showcase of the band’s expertise in delivering fast-paced thrash metal musicianship and guttural, unholy rhythms stemming from a strong death metal influence.
Though the band underwent lineup changes during the following decade, it did not stop the sonic assault and aggressive onslaught of NERVOSA, as they proved with subsequent releases and consistently furious touring dates outside their native Brazil. They paid their dues, offering homage to the still-thriving underground scenes worldwide (including the Philippines) while building a strong live set meant for bigger stages.
So this April, PULP Live World will be giving local metal fans the opportunity to both welcome NERVOSA and prove that their sound and ethic is one that will be embraced and supported on this side of the globe. Without a doubt, the band is also expecting the occasion to be a fiery one as they celebrate their 15-year anniversary in the only – and best – way they know.
VIP tickets with an official Meet n’ Greet opportunity (alongside priority entry to the venue) will be sold for PHP 3,500, while General Admission tickets will be available for PHP 2,000. Truly, 15 YEARS OF NERVOSA ASIA-PACIFIC TOUR IN MANILA is an event no serious metal fan will want to miss. Live loud – AND RAISE THOSE HORNS!
